What we collect

• Beta requests. The name, email, chosen platform, optional message, and faction you submit on this site.
• Account. Your email and display name, and the identifier from your sign-in method (email, Google, or Apple), via Firebase Authentication.
• Date of birth. Asked once, to enforce the minimum age. We store the date and the outcome; both are deleted with your account.
• Gameplay. Your pathfinder, quests, progress, wallet, and the photos you submit to verify a find — verification photos are examined and are not kept, and no other player ever sees them.
• Purchases. If you take up a Patronage or buy a Copper pack, we record the purchase and what it unlocks through RevenueCat, our purchase-management service. Payment itself is handled entirely by Apple or Google — we never see or store your card details.
• Activity. Step counts (Apple Health / device motion) for walking, trekking and sprinting quests — used only to power gameplay, never for advertising.
• Compass heading. Directional quests read which way your device is facing. On iOS that permission is worded as location because the heading comes from CoreLocation, but we never start location updates and no coordinates are collected or stored.
• Notification token. If you allow notifications, we store the push token your device is issued by Apple or Google, along with the platform and language, so we can tell you when another pathfinder challenges you. It identifies a device, not you; it is deleted when you sign out, when the device stops accepting notifications, or with your account.
• Diagnostics. Anonymous-by-default usage analytics and crash reports (Firebase Analytics & Crashlytics) to find bugs and improve the game. You can turn these off in the app's settings.

How we use it

To run the game and your account, send your invitation and other essential emails, keep the contest on the Ledger fair (anti-cheat), and improve Outdare through aggregate diagnostics. We do not sell your personal data.

Who helps us run it

We share data only with the services that operate Outdare, acting on our behalf: Google Firebase (authentication, database, analytics, crash reporting, and Cloud Messaging for notifications), Apple Push Notification service (delivery of notifications to iPhones), Google Cloud (photo verification of quest finds), RevenueCat (in-app purchase and subscription management), Resend (transactional email), and Cloudflare (website and file hosting). Each processes data under its own terms and safeguards.

Your choices

• Turn off analytics and crash reporting any time in the app's settings.
• Turn notifications off in the app's settings — that stops both the ones we send and the reminders your device sets itself, and deletes your token.
• Delete your account directly in the app (Settings → Delete account) — this removes your data as described in Retention below. You can also ask us to access or delete your data by writing to the address below.
• Manage or cancel a Patronage any time from your App Store or Google Play subscription settings.
• Revoke a connected sign-in (Google/Apple) from that provider's settings.

Retention & children

We keep your data while your account is active and as needed to run the game, then delete or anonymise it. Outdare requires a date of birth at first sign-in and refuses accounts under 13 (higher where local law requires); the date is kept so the check can be re-applied if the rules change, and it is deleted with your account. There is no free-text chat between players, no way to browse for other players by name, and no visibility of who is online — by design, not by policy.

Who we are, changes & contact

The controller of your data is Andrei Scripcariu, Wijnand Nuijenstraat 122, 1061 WB Amsterdam, the Netherlands.

We'll update this page as Outdare grows and note the date above. Questions or requests — including access, correction, or deletion: privacy@outdare-game.com.
